Chapter 19 It turns out that I am really tall, rich and handsome!
Aristocrats do not have to eat so luxuriously, but pay more attention to the naturalness of the ingredients, the creativity and exquisiteness of the dishes, and more importantly, they must eat elegantly!
As an ordinary person, how could he get used to such troublesome red tape? Arthur's so-called elegance is just a forceful pretender, chewing it slowly, and pretending. However, Arthur also knew that he was not a little bit inferior to the noble etiquette he had accepted since childhood, and he didn't care much about it. After a long time, I believe he would get used to it.
After the afternoon tea, the waiter packed up and pushed the dining cart away, leaving only satisfied Arthur and were holding cigar cuts and trimming the cigar, pulling matches and roasting the cigar.
"count"
"Thanks."
Arthur's eyes lit up slightly. He took the cigar, lit it and took a few sips, and spit out a few sips of smoke. He smelled the most primitive tobacco smell in the air. Smoking cigars does not enter the lungs, and he cannot smoke on an empty stomach. Isn't there a saying that cigars enter the stomach and cigarettes enter the lungs.
In his previous life, his life was unable to support him in enjoying such high-end cigars. Of course, this did not prevent Arthur from understanding the various theoretical knowledge of cigars. After all, as a web composing maker, he had all kinds of knowledge. Therefore, when he smoked cigars, he was quite skillful, and then sucked them out and savored them.
Why smoke cigars?
Many people may say that they are showing off, pretending to be 13, or being curious or following the crowd.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a manifestation of a better pursuit of life. Cigars are a way of life, but not a necessity, but a pursuit above basic life. Smoking cigars can also be regarded as rewards for yourself. Smoking cigars is not because cigars are essential. No one will not be able to survive without drinking Latu, and the same is true for cigars.
Of course, it is not even more so. The reason why some people think of it as a pretense is that people who think so really have not reached that level and level, which is the same as the emperor's golden shoulder pole.
However, cigars have different meanings in the Boling family. To the words of the old Count Francis when he gave Arthur his first cigar when he was 16 years old, cigars will make people mature!
To a certain extent, it will promote a thinking, and a thinking boy will become a mature man. Cigar is a complex and an indispensable subtle influence for mature men. Cigars can make a boy grow into a man.
Thinking of these memories in my mind, Arthur pinched the cigar slightly with his fingers, then put it on his mouth, took a sip, and gently spit it out, watching the smoke slowly floating in front of him.
"Paul, you said, if I mortgage the estate to the bank, how much can I get?"
Arthur's sudden question made Paul, the butler who originally had a smile, fall into a brief shock and dumbfounded moment, but soon reacted, his face became solemn, and his eyes looking at Arthur also became disappointed and sad.
"Forty million pounds..."
Hearing this number, Arthur's hand holding the cigar couldn't help but tremble, then looked up at Paul, who looked at his butler with a complicated look, and said in a trembling voice: "Are you sure?"
"Yes, Earl, I can be sure, you should be clear that Bolin Manor has been divided into two parts, and 2,600 acres of land belong to the offshore Bolin Land Management Company. Bolin Castle and the 400 acres of land around belong to the family fund. It is also this part that forced you to pay the inheritance tax. The 28th Earl of Bolin, your father, also considered that one day Bolin Manor might be sold, so he once looked for an asset appraisal company to make an estimate, and the final number was 40 million pounds..."
"Ahem..."
Arthur coughed lightly, and his face turned slightly red. I don’t know if it was the reason for the cough or because he was too excited, he trembled his hands and suppressed his cough. Arthur took a few sips of cigars in succession, and the smoke covered his face.
At this time, Arthur had completely excitedly ignored the changes in the expression and eyes of the butler Paul. While excited and ecstatic, he remembered a joke he saw on the Internet for no reason in his previous life.
"I have been waiting for my dad to tell me a secret. In fact, our family is very rich, pretending to be poor is just to cultivate you. Unfortunately, my dad said, I am waiting too..."
"Life is like a box of chocolates and you will never know what kind of surprise you will get." Arthur blew away the smoke in front of him, suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, and muttered tremblingly.
I originally thought it was a black iron, but I didn’t expect that I would become the king in the blink of an eye and definitely reach the peak of my life!
Go to his cat to sell tickets for travel, go to his cat to convert it into a hotel, go to his cat to his cat to...
I was worried about paying off my loan, but I was so stressed by debt that I couldn't breathe. I thought the castle was a burden. Now, I'm fine. All I thought about during this period of time was a small fuss. I have to say that my horizons are still too narrow.
When all kinds of thoughts popped up like an explosion in his mind, Arthur looked up at the butler Paul. As soon as he was about to ask something, he was unable to speak because of the helplessness and disappointment in the other person's eyes.
"Haha, Paul, don't get me wrong. I don't have the idea of selling my family's assets. However, I didn't expect that Bolin Manor would be so valuable."
When Paul heard that the young Count did not intend to sell the manor, he breathed a little relieved, and a smile appeared on his face, and he still said respectfully: "You are the 29th Earl of Bolin. This is your manor. You can completely control your property according to your own ideas. However, it is not easy for the Bolin family to retain ownership of the castle after 28 generations. Therefore, you, who have been 29th generations, are the few British figures who can be called a true noble!"
Hearing this, Arthur's face couldn't help but pull, and the expression on his face became a little unnatural. Although the words were so tactful that people couldn't hear the slightest accusation and lessons, the meaning of the words was undoubtedly very clear, 'You kid, do you really want to be a prodigal son and harm the efforts of the 28 generations?"
What a good guy, this is to use righteousness to suppress him!
Although Arthur was a little unhappy in his heart, after all, he was not a serious Earl of Bolin. Even if he really wanted to sell Bolin Manor, no one could stop him. However, he did not intend to sell Bolin Manor because he liked it very much, and he did not want to fish out of the waters and die of his appetite.
Make money to make more money, not to spend money.
So Arthur showed a laughing and crying expression on his face, stood up and said to the butler Paul very seriously: "I do have some ideas, but I have never thought about selling Bolin Manor, that I can guarantee God..."
